  • Let’s try OPEN-ENDED questions

    Just listened to my first episode and found the opening painful. Awesome guest (Anant Agarwal from EdX), but the interviewer led with yes/no questions and personal interjections that clearly made the guest uncomfortable. I won’t give up yet, but it was an unfortunate first impression.

How Can We Design Learning Spaces That Transform Education? | Kevin Stoller
Q: Where do you start when redesigning a learning space within an existing district or school?

What Happens When Students Bring a Portrait of a Graduate to Life? | NEAAAT Students
Q: What does day-to-day life look like when embedding the portrait into learning and activities?

What Happens When Students Bring a Portrait of a Graduate to Life? | NEAAAT Students
Q: Can you share what the process was like connecting with the community and having a closer connection to a portrait of a graduate?
They were mentored by the initial ambassadors, then went into the community to interview local businesses, using those conversations to validate that the competencies lived in the real world and to refine how the Portrait of a Graduate is understood by the community.
What Makes Parents Choose Alternative Schools? | Eric Wearne
Q: And what are some ways that caregivers and parents are discovering and engaging with these options beyond word-of-mouth?
